Sorry if this is a sore subject after the crap we all just had to go through because doctors said so. Not to mention these rules are ruining football.
Mate, you've gone off the deep end here. Unsure why you think TT should be trolling you just because he has a different opinion? Your post reads like one of those you make before you ask about how to delete your account. or say you're off. Chill out, bud-your other contributions as a poster are good-you don't need to react like this.

For what it's worth, I agree with TT. To use your analogy, a player in a World Cup final is equally capable of erring on the side of complete recklessness, ignoring the true extent of any head injury in order to stay on the pitch. Add in the fact that their decision-making might be flawed precisely because of that injury and you have a potentially very dangerous situation for the player.

In addition, I don't think your boxing comparison works...and no, I'm not trolling you. In football, players accept that there's a risk of injury but in boxing, the entire purpose is to deliberately inflict injury on your opponent. And even in boxing, it's not left to the fighter to decide whether to carry on or not-the ref will end the fight (or the corner) if the fighter is in danger of serious injury-is the boxer "outsourcing" their thinking too?

Just my opinion, though, which is what this-or any-forum is all about.
